The winners of the 2025 General Strike Song Contest have been announced, and labor activists
and musicians are invited to a special online teach-in to learn and sing this year’s top selections.
The Strike Chant of the Year is “Union busters, take a hike! How’d you like a general strike?” by M.G., and the Strike Song of the Year is “Hold Fast! (Hold the Line)” by Emmett Doyle. The song can be heard on SoundCloud.
To celebrate and share the music, the General Strike Song Contest committee is hosting a virtual teach-in on Saturday, April 26, from 12:00 to 1:30pm ET (9:00am PT / 11:00am CT / 10:00am MT). Click here to register.
